What do you expect from the next update?

[ortles]

I know this is kind of a wish list here, where ideas for new features are exchanged. But personally, I would expect that they don’t focus on new features, but prioritize bugfixing (most urgent imho are sync issue and breadcrumb issue; for sure there are other relevant bugs as well depending on individual use case).

Would be very frustrating if they present new features instead of fixing some of the major bugs first.

@Frederick-Rochette SRAM dual power.

I reported the HR sensor issue to Suunto support and I have to say, they are not really efficient they proposed to send the watch to tech support while the issue is from their last update.

• low temperature data field (for water sports)
• more customizable watch faces (e. g. alt chart > baro)

A lap button for the stopwatch. Please.

Just recently I went mountaineering. I had an activity for about 6 hours and when I was returning from the summit I discovered that my breadcrumbs trail in the navigation screen is partially missing.

So basically I didn’t see which way I got to summit.

I remember someone was posting about that and I got a feeling that the issue is well known by Suunto.

So I hope it will be fixed with the next update. It could be actually a question between life and death in some cases.

@rooldaa

Here‘s the thread about that:

https://forum.suunto.com/topic/10325/uncomplete-track-during-activity/57

I fully agree with you, track back / breadcrumb is a core function for an outdoor / mountaineering watch. Right now, there’s always half of the track missing which has already been reported to suunto several months ago. So it should be a well known issue.

Someone wrote there that a fix was probably scheduled for the last update, so I hope it will at least come with the next update.

@rooldaa official Statement would be great from some suunto nerds - if the Problem now is fixed or Not! Seems a little bit Like if there is no accident we have time and time until we will fix this KNOWN Problem.
@rooldaa the Problem here is knowing since Februar this year (Look in the linked Post) now we have May… Seems not like first priority in the suunto software Team…but hey what new Features we can Bring Out emojiis for example? Really cannot believe this prioritys

[thailon]

Maybe the better question is When do we expect the new firmware is going to be released?

[Egika]

@GiPFELKiND maybe it is not the best idea to draw conclusions about things you don’t know the background about?
How do you know that emojis got priority about this one?
Do you have an idea what was behind the disappearing start of the breadcrumb?

thank you!

[ortles]

Hey,

does anyone of you have an idea whether the issue of disappearing breadcrumb line / missing track back feature will be addressed with the next update?

Everybody‘s so excited here about the upcoming update and it would be super cool to know something more about that

[isazi]

@ortles it should be fixed

@ortles it should be fixed

Wow, thanks a lot, that’s very good to hear!!

[isazi]

@ortles what I know for sure: there was a software change to address this, and some testers said the issue is fixed for them. As you know the issue was not happening always, so I cannot be sure that there are no corner cases where this still happens.

If it happens with the new firmware, it is important to report it as soon as possible (with logs and everything) to have it fixed as soon as possible.

Another super valuable question. Will there be an app update as well? There were some features rumored that would probably need some new room in the app, like cycle tracking or floors climbed.

[isazi]

@Patrick-Löffler-0 menstrual tracking is already in the app, and about floors climbed I never heard about it

But yes, there should be also an app update to bring said features from beta to production.

[Patrick Löffler 0]

@isazi Thanks. Yeah. So good. Looking very much forward to the future then.

[Patrick Löffler 0]

@isazi sorry. It’s too interesting. How much will look of the app change? If you can comment on that anyway.

[isazi]

@Patrick-Löffler-0 in Q2? Not much In Q3/Q4 or 2025? Maybe more.

[Frederick Rochette]

@isazi
Too late for Q2… and now it’ll be Q3, or not… you never know with SUUNTO as there’s no official communication, only rumors.
